Rusdy Mastura (born 8 February 1950) is an Indonesian politician who is the governor of Central Sulawesi and was the mayor of the province's capital,Palu,between 2005 and 2015.
Rusdy was born in Palu,Central Sulawesi,on 8 February 1950, [1] and he completed his elementary and middle school education in Donggala,returning to Palu for high school. [2]
Before being elected into political office,Rusdy worked as a consultant. He was also chairman of the Pancasila Youth organization in Central Sulawesi. [1]
In 1997,Rusdy was elected into the city council for Palu,and then between 1999 and 2004 he chaired the city council. [2] He participated in Palu's 2005 mayoral elections,when he won in a landslide after securing 60.82% of votes in a three-candidate race. [3] He was reelected following the 2010 election,winning 32 percent of votes in a six-candidate race. [4]
As Palu's mayor,Rusdy was the second Indonesian government official (after Abdurrahman Wahid during his presidency in 1999 to 2001) to publicly apologize for the mass killings in 1965–66. [1] His initial apology stemmed from a human rights event in March 2012 where he stated that he was ordered to guard a house where Indonesian Communist Party members were detained,and then apologized to the victims. [5] Rusdy's family was affiliated with Masyumi,which during 1965 was actively conducting violence against the communists. [1] In October 2013,he issued a mayoral order which officially apologized to the victims and became a legal basis for the victims to reclaim their rights. [6] [7]
Rusdy initiated a plan,in conjunction with the central government,to establish a special economic zone in Palu,which would include investments in port and road facilities. [8] He also began a work program which employed some 5,000 poor residents of the city. [9] He resigned as mayor in August 2015 to participate in the gubernatorial elections for the province. [10]
He was a member of Golkar until late 2017,when he moved to the Nasdem Party,citing political reasons. [11] Rusdy was chairman of Golkar's Donggala Regency branch in 2017 before his move. [12]
Rusdy participated in the 2015 gubernatorial elections,but lost to Longki Djanggola and his lawsuit to the Constitutional Court was rejected. [13] He ran again in 2020 and,this time,won the election after securing 891,334 votes (59.6%). [14] He was sworn in on 16 June 2021. [15] By early 2023,Rusdy was the Chairman of the Advisory Council of Nasdem Party's Central Sulawesi branch. [16] In early [17] to mid 2023, [18] he moved to the Gerindra Party due to dissatisfaction with the Nasdem Party. [19] Later he was appointed as the Chairman of the Advisory Council of Gerindra Party's Central Sulawesi branch. [20]
